Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has denied rumors that he coaches the Los Angeles Lakers in a season-ending review of Canada’s only NBA team.
Rumors circulated last month about a potential deal between the Nurse and the Lakers, following the ouster of head coach Frank Vogel at the end of the campaign.
Nurse reiterated that her priority is to lead the Raptors, and added that she doesn’t know where those rumors are coming from.
The Lakers fired Vogel after eliminating the California squad from the NBA playoffs.
The nurse spoke to the media Monday after the Toronto team lost six games to the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday.
Nurse has two more seasons left on his contract extension in fall 2020 with the Raptors.
